Assignment No – 5

1. What are four basic components of a steam power plant?


2. With the help of block diagram, P-V and T-S diagram explain working principle of
Rankine cycle.
3. What do you understand by steam rate and heat rate? What are their units?
4. Explain with the help of neat diagram a “Regenerative Cycle” in Rankine cycle. Derive
also an expression for its thermal efficiency.
5. A steam power plant is working on a Rankine cycle. Steam at 20 bar pressure and
temperature 350 0C is expanded in a steam turbine to 0.09 bar pressure. It then enters a
condenser, where the steam is condensed to saturated liquid water. The pump feeds back
the water into the boiler. Find: The net work done per kg of steam and the cycle
efficiency, assuming ideal processes.
6. A turbine working on a Rankine cycle is supplied with dry saturated steam at 25 bar and
exhaust takes place at 0.2 bar. For a steam flow rate of 10 Kg/s, determine:
i) Quality of steam at the end of expansion
ii) Work ratio
iii) Rankine efficiency
7. In a reheat cycle steam at 550°C & 120 bar expands in a H.P. turbine till it is saturated
vapour. It is reheated at constant pressure to 500°C and expands in L.P. turbine to
dryness fraction of 0.97. find : i) The reheat pressure, ii) The pressure of steam at inlet
to H.P. turbine, The net specific work output, iv) The cycle efficiency and v) The steam
rate. Assume all ideal processes.
8. Consider a reheat cycle utilization steam as the working fluid. Steam enters the high-
pressure turbine at 40 bar, 400 oC and expands to 8 bar. It is reheated to 400 oC and then
expands to 10 kPa in the low-pressure turbine. Determine the thermal efficiency of the
cycle, turbine exhaust, Heat rate and steam rate.
